Persistent Crashing After New Update
I'm playing over on Game Pass. Last night I played for hours with no issues. It seems the newest update they pushed out has broken my game. I have no mods downloaded. I can't load up for more than a minute or two before it crashes. Seems to be a common issue for people. Anyone found a solution?

Same here, playing fine last night now after the update crashing after about 10 - 15 seconds. Have tried countless fixes but nothing. Game is broken from the update

if you use an intel cpu that a 13th i9 or 14th i9, there are many crashes revolving around the cpu with games using Unreal Engine and intel is currently working on fixing it. If you're not using intel then may just be the game

May not be the reason, but I would recommend checking if your video card driver needs updating. I know NVIDIA has one as of yesterday.

I have a Ryzen 5 3600, I think it's more likely the game in my case.

I noticed that as well. Still crashing after the driver update :/

Dang, was hoping it was something that simple. I can't say I have any other ideas. I haven't had these problems myself and haven't seen others talking about it to see their solutions.

I was fortunate enough to not deal with any crashes before this update. It's a shame that there doesn't seem to be an easy fix.

Same here; have had zero crashes in the 10 or so hours I've sunk into this - since the last patch I can play for 1 minute or two before it bombs. Definitely an issue with the latest patch, has to be...

I'm also have issues with it crashing after last update. Have an AMD CPU. I've never had issues with it crashing before but after the last update I can only play for about a minute or less. I get a low level fatal error message. Have a high-end GPU and drivers are updated.. have tried disabling some mods but not all of them because I don't want to lose a whole bunch of inventory...

Any word from them on when it'll be fixed?

looks like someone did not do the required testing before pushing the latest update

This is insanely unacceptable. How do you completely break a game? Did they not test it even once?
Bones Apr 17, 2024 @ 3:12pm 
sad they completely break the game on an update like this im on a 5800X3D 3070ti 32gb ram and its crashing too much to even think about playing if anyone finds a fix lmk.
